After having my bike collected today by its new owner,I killed a bit of time,as one does,looking at ebay.First thing to catch my eye was a SF848 in a dealers.It belonged to me up till about 18 months ago before I sold it privately. Next in line was an unusual Benelli,sold by me in 2009,and now being sold by the guy who bought it. Strange coincidence all taking place on the same day.
99.9% Fakes I'm afraid - bit like the thousands of SS Silver Honour Rings that are suddenly turning up all over Europe and USA? Nearly all found in a muddy field by some Lithuanian farmer ploughing! They sell for £3/500 at auction to private collectors who believe all the hype! Real and genuine examples sell for in excess of £10,000
